Alkaline Trio – I Remember A Rooftop (Guitar)

E            Abm             C#m
I remember a rooftop, making out

               A                      E
Downstairs the coppers screamed so loud

              Abm             C#m
I'd waited so long for that night

            A
Then I just turned away

B                C#m               A
And I know every street on the West-Side

          E     B            A
But I was lost, unfound, not right

              E         B     A
Maybe there's something wrong inside

E            Abm         C#m
Now I've got nowhere to go

            A               E
My hands is all that I've got

                 Abm        C#m
I'm so sorry for so many things

       A              B
That I haven't said yet

            C#m            A                   E
This is the waiting-room I spend my whole life in

               B                         A
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins

       E                B                 A
If I'm lucky maybe I'll finish before the roof caves in

E         B                 A
I lost my life on the first try

             Ab*
You found it miles down the line

A         E                     B
A swollen face with three first names

E              B                A
You kissed the taste back in my tongue

               Ab*
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs

A           E                  B
And then we slept for days and days and days

E       C#m  A   E            C#m    A
When we woke up, my heart all choked up

C#m    B                E       A
Had to say "I love you" way too soon

    E                   B                  A
But right there on your couch you loved me too

            E                 B        A
Right there on your couch you loved me too

E            Abm              C#m
Nineteen and sober once or twice

              A                 E
I caught some junkie's bad advice

         Abm             C#m
Up to my eyes in others' problems

         A                    B
Couldn't see, I'd never solve them

         C#m               A              E
I'm only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown

          B             A
I took my lousy shot at public recognition

            E                B           A
Could never pull the trigger if I wasn't shaking

E         B                 A
I lost my life on the first try

             Ab*
You found it miles down the line

A         E                     B
A swollen face with three first names

E              B                A
You kissed the taste back in my tongue

               Ab*
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs

A           E                  B
And then we slept for days and days and days

E       C#m  A   E            C#m    A
When we woke up, my heart all choked up

C#m    B                E       A
Had to say "I love you" way too soon

    E                   B                  A
But right there on your couch you loved me too

            E                 B        A
Right there on your couch you loved me too
